Manchester City will take on Barcelona on Wednesday night in a charity match at Camp Nou.
City's Premier League campaign is already three games old, but straight after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle on Sunday Pep Guardiola's side flew to Catalonia for a few days of warm weather training and to face the coach's former club.
The match is being played in honour of former Barca goalkeeper and coach Juan Carlos Unzue, who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) two years ago. All proceeds from the game will go to Fundacion Luzon, an ALS research charity.
City will return to Manchester later this week ahead of their Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
